Trying this...Earth Allure

I am trying out a new pair of shoes that are supposed to be very foot-friendly. They have a negative heel and patented gel cushioning. Time will tell...

I want to marry her...this is why I make a good Democrat.

I'm a ho ho ho...

Our tree, fully decorated. You may notice my prize Kermit the Frog ornament, front and center. My Papa Michael and Grandma Audrey saved it from my younger days and gave it to me.

BS

This really weird thing happens on Monday nights where a few ladies come over to my house to BS. One of them usually brings Chinese food. We talk about all kinds of things but mainly I try to impress them with how many red pepper flakes I put on my food.

Tree for two

Our is tree up, our house decorated into a glimmering sparkle of holiday bliss and most presents bought and wrapped. I like to think I have a slight creative flare passed on by generations of florists. My Great-Grandma Dorothy, Grandma Barb, Mom Holly and Aunt Jill all were florists. I would be more flashy were I not such a cheap skate.

Anywhoo, I grew up with my mom decorating her shop every year for the season. My favorite design was what I called the" Eualalie Mackecknie Shinn (the mayors' wife) Tree" which featured metallic purple & magenta decor and lovely peacock feather accents. My moms loves her some peacock feathers ( for those of you not intimate with the Music Man, y0u have no idea what this means but truly... you are missing out. "I have a bunion in my foot that bothers me! " Best quote ever). Anyway, the EMC has now made a minor comeback at Heart's Desire in Winona as my mom brought her back, feathers and all!! Damn, I need a photo of her before she molts.

Torture?

What to blog about? After a wonderfully long hiatus from blogging, I have no choice but to update in order provide a lifeline to my friend Sabrina who checks this site daily. DAILY! How horribly disappointing! It's like you are just waiting and waiting for something, anything, and it never happens. Where have I felt those emotions before? Oh yes, our adoption! 5 months, 1 week and 6 days of pure waiting!!!
